Salmon with Cilantro Pesto and Lentil Salad

Salmon with Cilantro Pesto and Lentil Salad

We picked up some nice salmon filets when they were on sale at Giant Eagle last week and decided to make them the next day.  I didn’t really have a plan for them and forgot to have Lo soak cedar planks to grill them on.  

Lessons I Don’t Learn

I never seem to learn the lesson that more isn’t always more.  Sometimes less is more.  I pulled a butt muscle during my leg workout on Monday.  And since I never really notice injuries when I’m working out, I didn’t realize it until a few 

Gluten-Free Easter Treats

Gluten-Free Easter Treats

I was planning to make Banana Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting for Easter again this year, and when I saw these no-bake Easter treats, I wanted to make these too.   I was converting the Cupcake Recipe to gluten-free this year, so I was nervous 

Workouts: April 9-13

I cooled with it extra workouts this week because I felt like I was headed into the over-training zone which I seem to find myself in every once in awhile.  I tell myself it’s okay to do 2 workouts/day a few days of the week

Wine Love – Cameron Hughes

Cameron Hughes is one of my favorite brands.  They buy the oversupply of ultra-premium wines and label them into lot numbers and sell them for way less than the wine would have originally sold for.  Most I’ve seen are around $12-$15.  I’ve never met one 

Gluten-free Bibimbap

Gluten-free Bibimbap

While it sounds like a song by the Hanson Brothers, it’s actually a crazy delicious Korean dish that I had while visiting friends in Atlanta. Since it’s something that I’ve only had the “real way” once, I can’t tell how spot-on this recipe is, but
